How does my parish benefit from my PSA gift?
Each year every parish is asked to raise a specific amount for the PSA as part of its fair share in the mission and ministries of the Diocese of Orange. This amount, aka the parish goal, is based on parish financials and is determined relative to all 62 parishes and centers in the diocese. 100% of every dollar raised by a parish above its goal is returned back to the parish to be used at the discretion of the pastor and/or parish leadership. Over the years, these “Parish Surpluses” have been used to funded renovation projects, building campaigns, youth programs and so many other vital local projects. This dynamic makes the PSA a truly unique opportunity to have both a local and global impact.
